Seite 111 - Nothing could stop that astonishing infantry. No sudden burst of undisciplined valour, no nervous enthusiasm weakened the stability of their order, their flashing eyes were bent on the dark columns in their front, their measured tread shook the ground, their dreadful volleys swept away the head of every formation, their deafening shouts overpowered the dissonant cries that broke from all parts of the tumultuous crowd...
Seite 174 - And betimes I will, to the weird sisters : More shall they speak ; for now I am bent to know, By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good, All causes shall give way : I am in blood Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er : Strange things I have in head, that will to hand ; Which must be acted ere they may be scann'd.

Seite 165 - I put my hat upon my head And walked into the Strand, And there I met another man . Whose hat was in his hand.
Seite 108 - But in other, and in but too many instances, the glens of the Highlands have been drained, not of their superfluity of population, but of the whole mass of the inhabitants, dispossessed by an unrelenting avarice, which will be one day found to have been as shortsighted as it is unjust and selfish.
Seite 36 - Holde me excused, for why my will is good, Men to induce vnto vertue and goodnes ; I write no ieste ne tale of Robin Hood, Nor sowe no sparkles ne sede of viciousnes ; Wise men loue vertue, wilde people wantonnes...
